The only good thing about the changes is the stars / clouds effects,

I agree with that.

The footsteps are sorta growing on me.. but they still don’t fit. If they’d have been white fluffy clouds during the day then angry thunderstorm ones at night, that would have been better.

I could deal with the lack of trail… if I could just have the sheathed glow back.

It glows at night while sheathed and the blue and purple trail is there as well, add the trail and glow back to the daytime version and I’ll be happy.

This is the absolute bare minimum.

I also think they should make it MFable to two separate versions at this point.

Thornfinger.2815:

I finally got to see it at night.. and yeah, it has a glow when sheathed then. This leads me to believe the lack of a daytime glow is a bug.. so I reported it.

I don’t mind the purple night cycle at all and the footsteps work well with it then. So for me now I want the daytime bug fixed and would appreciate the trail back and I won’t gripe anymore. :P

edit: OMG I had my trail back for a moment at night.. it was bigger and more lovely and wonderful than it was before! Then I used my weapon and it disappeared.

This weapon is totally bugged!

I am ~80% done getting this thing… and based on the new look, I’m contemplating finishing it just to get the stat-swappable Ascended and transmute another skin on top of it.

Something I noticed, and saw on a couple of other Legendary, the damage for Meteorlogicus is labelled as:

Weapon Strength: 940-1060 (Lightning)

Incinerator, Predator and Rodgort are labelled as Fire, Bolt as Lightning, Frostfang as Ice

Anyone have any ideas?

This thread makes me cringe. All the begging and moaning is terrible. State your opinion so Anet can see the majority preference, but please ease up on the whining now.

Some of it may be bugged because it’s just been patched in, report the bugs and wait. Its still a fantastically beautiful weapon. It’s now a very interesting weapon, it has a lot going on.

stop crying plz Meteorlogicus is perfect..the Purple and footsteps are awesome ;D

When I spent tons of gold and tons of hours grinding out a weapon like this, I’ll moan about them taking away effects if I please. You do realise this is spoiling some people’s game? I will let ANet know about the problems (bugs?) it has. Don’t want to hear it? Don’t enter the thread. Problem solved.

All it’s lacking now is an aura. And I agree, the footfalls could use improvements, specifically to the size of the clouds which are overshadowed by the lightning.

You may like it. But since you don’t own it and didn’t put plenty of your time and money making a very different weapon from the current version, you could have the curtesy to just kitten.

How do you know that Annelotte doesn’t own it? I didn’t read anywhere on this thread where he/she said that they didn’t own it.

He/She may own it or not. To be honest, this is absolutely irrelevant. I made a weapon very different from the one that I now have in my inventory. I happen to very dislike as it looks right now. If someone was in the same situation and now likes it, good for him.

Doesn’t make it right for me, or people who share the same disgust to the current aesthetics.

On this thread, https://forum-en.gw2archive.eu/forum/game/gw2/How-to-fix-Meteorlogicus-for-Everyone/first#post2771251, she shows a screenshot of her with her Meteorlogicus. So she does have every right to voice her opinion on it. But in your first post to her/him you were overtly rude to him/her and accused them of not having it. Bad form.

I sympathize with you for not liking it and it not being the weapon you crafted. It really does suck that you are not happy with the changes. I happen to like the changes and I think mine looks even better with my character.

That doesn’t mean that I have a right to hate on the people who want it changed back just because I don’t.

I dislike the new Meteorlogicus very much.

The footsteps seems out of place with the rest of the design theme. The daytime version is nice but the color disappears when it’s sheathed. The nighttime version is very ugly as the top half of purple clashes with the bottom half of blue, making it unsightly

It’s all a question of sensitivities. The “stop crying plz” from Annelotte’s original post seems overtly rude and bad form to me, much more than my reaction.

This is a heated discussion and my feeling is owners of Meteorlogicus (myself included) have the right to be kitten ed about what happened. You are ok with the changes, I’m happy for you. But at least try showing some empathy instead of bumping into the discussion with no arguments other than smileys’.

This is not directed at anyone personally, so don’t take it that way. I appreciate everyone sympathising, especially if they like the new weapon. Problem is many of us hate it, and feel cheated right now.

I hope they find a comprimise for us. Maybe keeping the new night theme as it is because
while the night theme may not be to everyones taste, it is an impressive addition to the legendary scepter. For the daytime… returning the original glow(As it looked polished and really well done) maybe returning the original trail and glow when sheathed.

I personally would like the clouds and lightening to be at night. Maybe something else for the day, but who knows this could have been a more difficult thing to implement.

I’ll give you that. He/she shouldn’t just jump in with the smileys and bugger off because I like it. That was just as rude.

I guess in the end I am trying to say that it is OK, for everyone to have their personal reaction, but when we resort to attacking each other over it, it just makes a difficult situation worse.

Even though I do like the changes, I completely understand why others don’t. I think as someone else stated, it would be nice if there was some sort of compromise, but I honestly don’t really see that happening. I think it would be easy enough for them to turn the trails back on and the glow back on when stowed. I am happy without both, but would be just as happy if they turned them back on.

The fact that the price of the precursor has more than doubled is a sign that most people want it now a lot more than before. I think the changes have generally been for the better, though I do agree that the footfalls could be better since the lightning just sticks out of the ground.

The price of the precursor didn’t double as a result of recent changes. Prices of all precursors have drasticaly gone up early on 27th August, before any details of the revamp were revealed, most likely as a result of well-coordinated flipping.

The price of Storm is actually slowly decreasing since the update. GW2 spidy is your friend.

…because IRL we only see lightning at night, right?

I love the changes. I like my lightning and cloud footprints. The sparkles aren’t really noticeable and I’m neutral about those. However, I think daytime should represent the sun with a white or yellow glow, and night time should represent the moon, with a light blue glow. Purple doesn’t suit the colorf this weapon. It’s pretty cool to look around lion’s arch at night and see all the other Meteorlogicus about. I never noticed many others with the weapon until now. scheme o

jinxy.8457:

I hate the new Meteorlogicus effects. The footfall looks bad, they just look like random lightning sparks coming out of the ground and the theme doesn’t really match the model of the scepter. I would love it if it had puffy cloud footfalls instead.

I prefer the current look even if it doesn’t have footfalls… i like the blue/purple trail on the end of the scepter when you run and its now gone

Please anet, consider changing the footfalls or changing the effects back!

I asked people with the scepter around SOR LA and they hate it too.
15 – hates the changes
2 – neutral…wants to see what it looks like in game first
1 – doesn’t mind
3 – likes changes

yes i saw you say that, i love the changes. leaving SoR though, i’ll miss you buddy.

Can some players start posting some new meteorlogicus screenshots of it in action? Would be nice.

Non purple night Meteorlogicus. Very basic photoshop edit but I just want to give you an idea of a dark blue or even yellow look. Added some basic footsteps too.
The beauty of Meteorlogicus was that it was aesthetically pleasing more “serious” weapon like Flameseeker. Now it’s more on the goofy weapon side… like Quip but it’s not a goofy desing :s

@gburzak

^^

Could anyone possibly post a decent screen of the footsteps at day/night? Can’t get home for a week, and this mobile internet won’t let me watch vids -.- Thank you muchly in advance if anyone does.

I think the glow when it’s stowed at night is lovely actually. It’s a mix of blue and purple (once you use the weapon the stowed glow changes to all purple.) You can see the lightning firing in the clouds, the stars twinkling and when you run the trail is better.. it seems a bit bigger and brighter. So WPing into some place at night, before you use the weapon.. I think they did a good job with it. The daytime stowed-non-glow and no trail after using the weapon no matter what time of day has to be a bug. So, fingers crossed this doesn’t take months to fix.

edit to add some photos:

WPing into an area at night (it’s almost like the day and night glow is going on.. but it’s lovely :P) and the trail.

Not just this (which is spot on, by the way) but people were trying to speculate on Storm because regardless of how well the changes may have been received, there was guaranteed to be increased interest from players. Same reason there were bidding wars over the Bard for a while.

Did the best I could. Footsteps don’t change ever.

Man, it looks sweet with your gear set I’ll give you that. But notice both of your screenshots cover up the blue handle? The blue handle completely clashes with the rest of the look, to me it ruins it.

I’d be okay with the purple night stuff if that handle changed to purple as well.

Waow, that is stunning.

Great pictures, thank you so much for that. Shame the clouds are so dark on the footfalls, because i’ve never seen this weapon as gloomy and dark. Saying that though, the footfalls are so unique and different to any other weapon. They may be odd but im glad they ain’t the slightly generic circles that footfalls normally are. Beautiful weapon, congrats on owning one. I’m so close to mine, i can’t wait ;p

Glad to be of help! I did have to purposefully go to a snowy area, otherwise the clouds can be harder to see.

Best of luck to getting yours!

The price of storm has more than doubled, going from ~160g (8/24) to over 350g (present). Additonally, many of the other precursors, while having increased in price due to speculation and other factors, have not increased by the same amount proportionally speaking.

And considering it was – and still remains – one of the cheapest precursors out there, you think that proves the changes are “wohaaa!”?

As I said (and you just confirmed), the price raise occured before any details of the revamp were made public. One thing that this proves is people who flip on TP know how (and when) to flip on TP.

This is another problem worth mentioning.

The black clouds and lightning make no sense aesthetically during daytime.

Well sure they do. I dunno where you live but dark clouds rolling in and a massive thunderstorm occurring wasn’t some rare thing where I grew up in the spring and summer.

Now do they fit with the day time aesthetics of the weapon? No. :P

Guys calm down plz i understand ppl r upset but Anet put efort in too making this legendary better i personaly finished mine rly recently and i LOVE the new meteorlogicus.. sadly it only gets to its full potential at night time when u un equip it and re equip it as posted in some screenshots before the 2 glows combine and its a bring glow wich is bouth blue and pruple at same time .. without beeing too much and it has a long trail behind it that looks rly wundefull…. But thats probably jjust a bug i personaly think they have been aiming that at night it is purple (with wich im fine it look still good) and that it has a purple trail at night time (u can see a purple trail inside the combined trail at night time ) and that during day time it is that nice blue/white yelowish cuz of the sun) wiht a similar trail effect.. i rly hope its only a bug and we get that what they wantet rly soon… and that we get a trail effect during combat

P.s the footsteps r rly good and unique i do like them but they only got a slight problem wich is that if ur runing with swiftness the lightning spawns instantly and the clouds r to slow so lightning disapears before the clouds even disapear …it just needs to be timed alil diferently :S

Poledo.3256:

I was working towards this as my legendary until I watched that live feed yesterday.

Hehh I’m the opposite. Wasn’t working on towards it till I saw the footage, and now I will start.

To be fair I am happy with one change to it and sad about the other. I love that it changes to storms at night. I hate, yes detest the lightning footfall. I don’t dislike the the idea of lightning footfall as much as it looks bad and was done poorly. I saw someone mentioned clouds for footfalls(like fluffy clouds not the flattened ones on the ground it currently has), that would have been cool IMO.

edit – the picture above doesn’t illustrate the footfall effects in a proper context. It looks cool in a photo but when you see someone running with it, the little spikes of lightning just look… sparse? That is the best way I can describe it. It seems to be lacking something.
